The single PCB based GeForce GTX 295, just like the one we have showed you before, is officially launching in late May. NVIDIA's control freak machine could not keep these cards under wraps until the launch date, but there is little to be excited about this card. The performance is the same, the clocks are the same but thermal design power should be a tad different. The GeForce GTX 295 single PCB version should hold the performance crown until the GT300 launches later this year, as we don't expect any high-end updates from NVIDIA before the forth quarter of this year. It also looks like ATI's performance DirectX 11 card won't be launching sooner, so NVIDIA should not have much to worry about. - FudZilla

Single PCB Based GeForce GTX 295 Comes Late May

This GeForce GTX 295 will follow a similar design as ATI has demonstrated with their X2 series, and will as such featuring two GT200b cores on a single PCB and dual slot cooling solution. The board should be available shortly, we expect it this month and we expect that you should be able to overclock it just nicely. There is little chance we will see any DirectX 10.x cards faster than the GeForce GTX 295 and single GPU based GeForce GTX 285 or either the Radeon HD 4870 X2 and single GPU based Radeon HD 4890. So the next step for both is the forth quarter later this year with new graphics products supporting DirectX 11 technology.
